With us, you don’t have to worry about anything as we are a one-stop-shop in setting up your fund,” said the Manager of SCG Fund Services.

The next important concern with an offshore fund formation is choosing a jurisdiction to structure your fund. Popular jurisdictions for offshore funds include the Cayman Islands, The Bahamas, and the British Virgin Islands, among others. Each jurisdiction has its own laws and regulations governing offshore funds, so it's important to research and choose the jurisdiction that best fits your needs.

Once you've chosen the jurisdiction, you'll need to establish a legal entity to operate the fund. This typically involves registering a fund company or partnership with the corporate registry in the relevant offshore jurisdiction. It is where you need our help, as SCG Fund Services is familiar with the legal requirements in most offshore fund jurisdictions.

“We will draft the fund documents, including the offering memorandum, subscription agreement, and other legal documents. These documents are needed to set up a hedge fund. We will outline the fund's investment strategy with your help, definite the fund’s terms, and will help you to comply with regulations in your fund’s jurisdiction,” said the Manager of SCG Fund Services.

Depending on the jurisdiction, you typically are required to obtain licenses or permits to operate the offshore fund. This typically involves registering with the relevant regulatory authorities in the offshore jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, the Securities Commission of the Bahamas, or the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission. Again this is where SCG can assist in licensing your fund with the regulatory authorities in the offshore jurisdiction.

Once the legal entity has been established and the necessary licenses and permits have been obtained, the final step in offshore fund formation is to appoint service providers for the fund. This typically includes a fund administrator, custodian, and auditor. Here you can take advantage of our knowledge and experience in selecting the right service provider in your chosen jurisdiction. SCG will help make the offshore fund formation process as painless as possible.
